    Coming to a hood near you?

    If I am not wrong we already have that in the form of Federally backed/guaranteed flood and hurricane insurance in certain parts of the country. Not a stretch for them to expand that to "forest fires" "hail storm area's" "tornado alley" etc....

    oh im not talking about how great my Miata is, just saying I dont give a shit about it on track for the most part.

    Somebody on another forum I am on seems "familiar" with the abilities of the various heavy salvage operators in the USA. He thought that the channel could be cleared of debris for ship traffic to resume within ~2-3 weeks... that is IF somebody makes a decision to call(and pay) all hands...
